Good on you! I did my 72 hour fast this summer and I'll be doing another one this month. Every six months is my goal.

Last night I was traveling and didn't eat dinner. I got into the hotel hungry and thought about going out to find a restaurant. Realized I didn't really need to eat. Missing ONE dinner? Easy! Fasting makes you realize you aren't dependent on eating all the time and that you will survive just fine if you go a little while without food.

Thanks. I think six months is about as soon as I would want to do that again. It wasn't as difficult as I imagined it might be, but it wasn't a lot of fun either. I found it difficult to focus at times.

It is true that I learned something about myself. I definitely will see feelings of 'hunger' in a different light.
